TOPICS

A Vulnerability Geek’s View of Auditing, Assessing, and Inspecting

Communications Security, Computer Security, Information Security, Information
Assurance, Information Operations, Cyber Security: through a 35-year career at the National Security Agency, and now with the non-profit Center for Internet Security, Tony has spent 40+ years in the business of finding, making sense of, and managing vulnerabilities in devices, systems, and operations.
Although he’s never been an auditor, or even played one on TV, Tony has worked with countless IGs, auditors, and security assessment teams to help translate the “negative knowledge” of flaws into positive defensive action for individual enterprises. Through this lens, he will offer some highlights, some low points, and other observations of the role of audit in cyberdefense for the system as a whole. And he will also describe about how these lessons have been embedded into the model of the Center for Internet Security and its work with the auditors who support it.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Any professional in the Information Security / Assurance industry, including IT auditors, IT consultants, and general IT professionals with exposure to or looking to get exposure to cybersecurity initiatives.

Anyone that is already or anyone interested in getting involved with the ISACA CSX program
